February 13th (Orlando Trip-Early Morning Flight/Food Court/Universal Studios/Airbnb)

5:50 am flight
Early start to the day, 3:15 am wake up call! ugh!
Plus I didn't sleep well since I was worrying about waking up on time to get to the flight.
But we are excited so it's worth it! Right? Lol
Got to MCI and on the airplane on time! Wahoo,
Got to Orlando around 9:30 am.
Finally got to car rental place and had to wait in line for 30 mins. Boo. We are hungry so lets go get some lunch. A mall wasn't too far so food court for the win!!
I see Palm Trees!
Food Court so everyone can have what they want! We didn't know what to do so we opted to head to Universal since we have 4 days. 2 days plus 2 free extra days was the deal we got. We need to go and get Ella's fast pass for her disability that we applied for before we left!

Always love seeing Palm Trees!
It's Tuesday so we think this might be the least crowded day. I don't feel prepared for going today, but lets do it!
We parked, got Ella in the collapsible wagon we brought so we can walk fast!
(So glad we brought this or she would have never made it, so much walking!!)
Made it to the entrance.
Olympics this summer, so excited!
We are in!!
New Despicable Me area that was opened last year. One ride was super long, the other one we got right on!
We have no idea what we are doing or were we are going. lol. 
We got on the map to help us but wanted to check everything out.
Our fast pass we got for FREE for Ella's Disability allowed us to get on a ride almost right away if under 30 min wait, if over 30 min then we had a time to come back to get on ride quickly.
The mummy ride we came back to ride on.
It was cool, 3D movement.
Love the architecture. 

Ludacris on the tv while we waited for the Fast and Furious Ride.
Glad we could bring Ella's wagon in while we waited through lines or waiting areas on rides. It was helpful!

The train station for Harry Potter land, we called it! But we are opting to wait till tomorrow morning to go there.
We did find the triple decker bus!
Talking shrunken head told Ella, Happy Birthday since she had a birthday button on.

We ventured over to the Simpson area! Love the Simpsons.



Waiting in line for a Simpson ride.
(Ella didn't end up liking it at all! Poor thing, some of these rides are more intense!)
All the little touches in Simpson Land is awesome.




Ella got on a ride she actually liked with her sister! Happy girl.





This thing is awesome!

Back to the future stuff.

Character row, saw some fun people.
So old Hollywood in here! Love it.
We found Beetlejuice!
He was so funny and said,"Ladies, 2 for the price of 1!" Haha! He was great.

Then Ella wanted a picture with Homer!
We headed out of Universal to the City Walk to grab a snack before we hit the road to our Airbnb about 30 mins away in Kissimee.
Beautiful place we found to sit to eat Auntie Ann's pretzel and donuts from VooDoo!

Pretzel bites with cheese and a donut for this happy girl!
With traffic we got to our townhouse after about 45 mins. 
This place is so nice and cute. 
We got a deal since it's off season.
I mean it has 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and a private pool. It was $1,000 for 4 nights, normally over $2,000 from March and on.


Nick and I brought stuff in. Got girls settled, so Nick and I could head to grocery store to get food for the next 4 days!
I made a quick dinner of pasta with alfredo with vegetables. Plus got a pre made yummy strawberry salad! Time to get to bed to hit up Universal tomorrow.
She was so excited for the bunk bed.

(She only slept up top for 1 night, lol)


Loft area, 2 families could stay here easily and have plenty of space.
MBR,
Wow am I tired!!
Can't wait for tomorrow!!
